Hardware Class(es)
The MCP is a Class 2 system. It utilizes a patent pending design which combines
the strength of a split architecture, screen from a CPU, COTS hardware
components, and multiple communications paths for logistical support.
Display Size
RAH units are based on COTS LCD Technology.
• RAH T1X Series = 9” - 16x9 widescreen format @ WVGA
• RAH T3X Series = 12.1” - 16x9 widescreen format @ WXGA
Brightness
All the RAH series use Superbright LCD technology for daylight readability and are
all incrementally step dimmable to zero for display control at night. They also
support a 160 degree viewing angle.
Communications
Communications is the strength of the MCP System providing connectivity via:
telephony (GPRS,GSM,1X,EVDO,EDGE, HSDPA covering both world present
standards and the new HSUPA world wide high speed network technology),
802.11 WIFI ( A,B,G), 8 port Ethernet Hub, 5 USB interfaces, ARINC 429, RS 232
& RS 422 & RS 485
Controls The RAH series has the following common elements:
• Touch Screen: self calibrating throughout operating temperature range.

Separate toggle control provided to adjust screen brightness (full bright to 0)
• Integrated indestructible keyboard, spill proof, chemical resistant, and sealed
with 5 stages of integral back lighting (0 to high) for night or day use.
10,000,000 keystrokes MTBF.
• USB ports. These may be operator controlled at the airlines security level for
activation or deactivation as required.
The ANKH component is self monitoring with individual CPU health status displays.
It implements auto update and auto backup capabilities.
Mounting and/or Stowage
The RAH units are mounted with quick change capabilities for a modular design.
The RAH units have different mount locations (e.g., the sliding window, the built in
chair table) and custom installations as per individual requests. The ANKH is a
mounted housing for the industrial COTS laptop, CPU boards, and power supplies.
Hardware Style
• The RAH series of screens/keyboards are COTS units, repackaged by Virtual
Papyrus as part of the mounting solution. The RAH contains only the screen,
keyboard, USB, and brightness controls.
• The ANKH houses the CPU boards, communications and power supplies. The
CPU boards are COTS Intel based dual-core mobile processor units
repackaged by Virtual Papyrus. Each board is individually changeable like a
laptop computer.
• There is no distance restriction between the ANKH and the RAH as this
connection is achieved by fiber optics. The placement of the ANKH within the
fuselage is usually more the consideration of maintenance personnel for
convenient access. This design ensures the flight deck remains intact as
designed by the OEM, with no additional components to take up existing
allocated space.
Accessories
• Depending on the level of software applications the MCP is hosting, the Airline
may elect to procure the optional battery pack.
• Virtual Papyrus offers super low light IP cameras for cabin surveillance.
Applications Supported
Virtual Papyrus embraces the total open architecture concept and therefore offers a variety of software products in
